1. How to choose badminton?

Answer: Badminton of good quality and appropriate speed is very important for the smooth progress of the game and the fun of fitness. The quality of badminton can be judged from the following aspects:

(1) The badminton should have a neat appearance, the leather covering the ball should be smooth and wrinkle-free, the feathers should be white and the angles of the inserts should be consistent;

(2) The feather rod should be slightly thick and straight, with even glue, and it should be hard and elastic when held by hand, and should not be deformed;

(3) When testing the badminton, its flight stability should be good, and it should rotate forward without shaking or drifting. There should be no obvious difference in the speed of the badminton in the same tube.

2. What is the weight of a badminton to be qualified?

Answer: The ball weight is about 5.0 grams.

——People who have experience in playing ball know that a light ball will fall quickly when it is halfway through its flight! It is really boring.

(Large manufacturers such as Guangzhou Shuangyu Factory have extremely strict requirements for balls. They weigh each ball and ensure that the balls they produce are around 5.0 grams!)

3. What is the relationship between weight and speed?

Answer: The weight of the ball is a major factor in determining the speed. In addition, the extent to which the feathers are spread out and the center of gravity of the ball are also crucial! So a heavy ball does not necessarily mean a fast speed. Only after testing with a ball machine can the ball speed be marked!

4. How to choose badminton?

Answer: There are two small marks on the right serving area of ​​a regular badminton court near the doubles serving line. The area between them is the badminton ball speed testing area.

When checking the ball, use your low hand to hit the ball forward and upward with all your strength outside the end line. The direction of the ball's flight should be parallel to the sideline. A ball that meets the standard speed should fall within the area between 0.53 and 0.99 meters from the outer edge of the opponent's end line (i.e. between the two small marks).

When testing the speed of badminton, a ball serving machine is used for testing. After the test, the ball with the appropriate speed (weight) is selected for the game. The same speed (weight) of the game ball should be used on the same playing field.

The quality of badminton can be observed from the following aspects:

1. The feathers are fine and neat, and each feather has good consistency.

2. The feathers are arranged at neat angles, the main trunk of the feathers is relatively straight and has a certain hardness.

3. The feather opening is well rounded and of standard size.

4. The feather rod is firmly bonded to the ball holder.

5. The feather is well coaxial with the ball head.

6. The ball base is tight and not soft, the ball shape is standard, and there is less glue inside.

7. The overall weight of the ball is appropriate and the weight distribution is reasonable.

How to choose a badminton racket

Basic knowledge on choosing badminton rackets

There are many brands of badminton rackets on the market now, but you must choose a racket that suits you anyway. First of all, when buying a badminton racket, you must consider the following aspects:

1. The weight of the badminton racket should be appropriate: In fact, the lighter the racket is, the better. Although a light racket can be swung faster, it will feel like it is not exerting enough strength when smashing the ball, which will affect the power of the shot.

2. Check the overall structure of the racket: After getting the racket, swing it to see if it shakes your hand. If the brand shakes your hand, the shaft (the connecting part between the handle and the head, which is now made of carbon alloy steel) must be too hard; if it doesn't shake your hand, it means the shaft is more elastic. You can also hold the handle of the racket with one hand and the top of the racket head with the other hand and bend it. If the racket bends slightly, it proves that the shaft is more elastic.

Now badminton has become a national sport. Many people love to play badminton in their spare time. They are very strict with themselves, especially with their badminton equipment. They are very careful and have a good set of equipment. This is because they love badminton so much that they demand so much of themselves.
